Tekkit Review

Although the exclusion of RedPower and Industrial Craft 2 makes for a disappointing initial impression, they are steps that were necessary for to update Tekkit to Minecraft 1.6.4, as the mods unfortunately still haven't updated yet.

However, the Technic guys have instead decided to replace them for Advanced Machines and Frames. AE has item sorting covered and MineFactory Reloaded comes with its new Red New feature, capable of handling complex redstone circuitry. Nonetheless, the better alternative of Project Red was not included. It's definitely a letdown to have an almost perfect replacement for RedPower to not be included.

Another exciting addition is the Modular Powersuits mod - a vast improvement over the Industrial Craft 2 armour. The sheer endlesss number of possible configurations of your armour makes for an incredibly satisfying feeling when you are finally able to glide across the sky, much like Iron Man.

But of course, what is the biggest and most important addition to Tekkit is Galacticraft. Probably one of the most ambitious mods, literally showing to the world that the sky is not the limit for Minecraft modding. The combination of high-tech mods such as Buildcraft and Thermal Expansion with Galacticraft makes for endless hours of fun, making it a whole new game.
